The Ganado style rug was created by Lorenzo Hubbell, owner of the trading post in the town of Ganado, AZ in the early 1900s. (The trading post still operates today and is a National Historic Site.) Hubbell popularized the rug by promoting it by catalog to the eastern states.
The traditional style is characterized by a central diamond or cross motif with simple geometric shapes decorating the corners and a dark border. The rug was often referred to as “Ganado Red” because it was woven with a brilliant red background. Other colors used are gray, white and black.
Because of its history and distribution, many consider Gandao a classic Navajo rug style.
